Environmental issues like climate change, water availability, pollution, waste generation and disposal are commanding considerable global attention. Industries, as a major user of raw materials and energy and source of pollution and waste generation, have a major role in addressing current and emerging environmental issues. Environment managers in industry have a challenging task to keep industry clean, competitive and compliant with national and international rules, Acts and treaties.

Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) had been conducting training programme to build capacity in industry for the past two decades and has trained hundreds of environment managers. This year a four-day training programme is scheduled in February, 2018 in New Delhi.
